Pim Posted April 24, 2001 Share Posted April 24, 2001 Everybody seems to be so nice to each other. Still all organs suck. The DX7 sucks, too. (don't mention the shitty color, the sound is enough) So called synthesizers with build in samples are even worse. (Kurzweil - the name sounds like a disease, the programs too. Never seen such cheap wheels) All Rolands suck. (Do I hear a u220, jv880, jv1080, jv2080, xv...??? They all sound alike) Virtual analogues suck. (They all sound alike, thinny and sharp. Except for the Nordlead. That Nord sounds worse) Andromeda sucks. (I own a Red one - I want to buy a Blue one too - can't afford it) I realize I will not win this NanoPiano. Lucky me!

Frosty_dup1 Posted April 24, 2001 Share Posted April 24, 2001 Persons (an assumption I know) For some strange reason (pharmacological addiction? mental incompetance? genetic indisposition?) these flames are lamer than a one legged horse. They seem to belong to one of the following categories: 1. Perverse criticism of the proffered NanoPiano (perhaps the greatest instrument ever constructed, may Mr Alesis's name be forever enshrined along with Stradivarius, Steinway and Casio). 2. Recounting of a string of prepacked abuses cut and pasted from usenet and assembled with the care and attention to detail more commonly associated with the Indonesion Motor Vehicle industry. 3. Rehashing of the mines better than yours arguments, including chestnuts such as Mac vs PC vs TRS80, guitarists vs keyboard s etc A true flame thrower needs to carefully analyse the underlying psyche of the flamee's, as exposed in their written words and (helpfully) revealed from the "Introductions" thread. My scientifically valid observations have led to the following conclusions: The Keyboard Corner participants, as a group 1. Are lazy to the point of being able to rise out of bed in the morning 2. Have rough and gnarled hands as a result of too much self congratulation 3. Exhibit the muscle tone of Pee Wee Herman 4. Don't understand any part of the world around them, and prefer to think that some higher power (God, Satan, Santa Claus, the Energiser Bunny) controls where they left their keys. 5. Have resigned themselves to the fact that their non-existant personal hygiene will shortly render their breath so foul as to offend sewerage inspectors. In short, to paraphrase Mary Poopins, they are: Supine, Calloused, Fragile Mystics Expecting Halitosis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, I'm not that stupid, I figured out the basic meaning by now, but anyone wanna elaborate?? -Rod The meaning is long since lost, but it probably refers to the way your face tenses up when you are trying to keep a straight face while pulling off a joke. You cross your tongue over to one cheek as you try to supress a laugh. My best guess, anyhow. As you know, the figurative meaning is "jokingly" or "in a manner not to be taken seriously, for entertainment purposes." Example: It took me a minute to realize that the article was done tongue in cheek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzwee Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Nowadays, we don't need a flame thread. It's been replaced by the "Real Men..." threads. The "other" forum has no equivalent to our Real Men threads because they have no Dave Horne.

Garrafon Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Ahhh, the hypocracy and irony of it all. I do recall being reprimanded once for a clearly faux flaming aimed at stopping flaming.

soapbox Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Wow, memories That was back when I was posting under this login before I reregistered as Geoff Grace. If I recall correctly, the fun and games eventually got out of hand; and Dave had to delete a few posts. Originally posted by kad: Originally posted by RABid: moving on does not make them unregistered. Do user accounts expire after a certain interval of inactivity? Just a guess... Wow, I hope not!
